iLEAD Vision
The Institute for Leadership empowers Mount students to be examples of Catholic values-based servant leadership. Our global, national, and local needs require that more students be aware of and concentrate their efforts toward the common good. Leadership is doing the right thing at the right time in the right place. Its interests are in the universal without hidden agenda. We are directed to carry out our Christian mission that is predicated on basic human dignity to achieve our larger goal of creating a better world.
iLEAD Mission
The Institute for Leadership Ethics, Achievement, and Development challenges students to move others toward good while respecting the dignity of all they lead. iLEAD promotes ongoing self-reflection upon academic and co-curricular experiences in order that students grow in their self-awareness to become intelligent and compassionate leaders. In these ways, they can lead lives of significance. While iLEAD serves all students, it engenders a special relationship with specific populations including First Year, First Gens, honors students, international students, commuters, transfers, and probationary students. iLEAD serves these members by providing additional support in acclimation and academic growth.

Staff Development Programs
The Women's Leadership Tea
The Women's Leadership Tea is a monthly opportunity for women of the Mount and other organizations' administration, faculty and staff to communicate for the purpose of staff development and community building. Now, more than ever, women need to unite and support one another. iLEAD supports sharing our experiences, resources, triumphs, and obstacles with one another. It is the hope that more experienced women leaders will avail themselves to younger women on campus who are in need of ready mentors. Past facilitators have included administration, faculty, and community servant leaders in the community.
